I can post those later if you like. DT 0.01 and 0.02 did have some very good results. DT had very mixed results, some impressive, some very disappointing. :) The DB team was smart for not letting DB/DBII in public before the matches. Todays commercial programs play in public and many times the human or computer opponent has time to prepare. IMHO: In a real contest, this is another advantage for the micors, if DB played a lot of games, I think it's TPR' would fall. Today's commercial programs already have that reflected in their posted TPR's. :) BTW: You have made some good points, both in this thread and a couple of the other related threads. Your point of view makes me think. Thanks. Best Regards, Chris Carson
